I was meeting a friend so I didn't mind the wait (it was about 20 minutes for a table to open up, for two people). Unfortunately for some that were waiting the hostess lost the list, luckily I came in after this happened and of course let everyone waiting before me go ahead of me even though the hostess was confused (I'm so nice, I know!). After we were seated and opened the menu - wow! It was pages and pages long - options from eggs Benedict, to skillets, to pancakes and waffles, to omelettes and anything in between. I liked that they had all different smoothies too! After reading the novel menu I decided to try the blueberries and brie French toast and my friend tried the strawberry fields crepes! Both orders came quickly and the portions were huge! Mine had three French toasts with a ton of toppings, and my friends crepes were crammed full of toppings and Nutella and they filled the entire big plate! Needless to say we could not finish the meals but they were both really well made and fresh! This Quebec chain is doing a great job in Oakville and I can't wait for them to expand into Toronto and the rest of Ontario. I was pleasantly surprised and will definitely be back."^^ . "5"^^ .
